Torpedo Craft.
The S|>aniwh war so far has not shown
that torpedo boats and torpedo boat de
sfcoy.'t* are the terrible naval weapons
they have been supimsed. The question is
vet to be determined, however, whether
•the inactivity of these craft belonging to
the Spanish foe was because of the ineffi
ciency of their officers and crews, or
whether the th.xvry yf the torpedo boat is
a toise one. thinks the Toledo Bkale.
The T error ma.le a sortie out of the
iharteor of San Joan de Porto Rico a few
days agw. but the auxiliary cruiser St.
J'aul. entirely unarmored, spet'dily ren
dered her helpless, ami she was rowed back
into rhe harbor in a sinking condition.
The two torpedo boat destroyers. Plu
ton and Furor, of Cervsra's fleet, were en
gag.sl by the |ittle Gloucester. She was
formerly J. I‘ierpont Morgans ya.Qit Cor
sair. \\ ithout any annoy protection, and
"..a no gun larger than six-pound repaid
bie. the Gloucester destroyed both Spanish
boats and sent them burning upon the
bench.
Then' does not seem to have been any
effort made to launch torpedoes, either
Hom :ie Spanish l>oats or from any the
Vessels of the American fleet which is sup
plied with torpedo tubes. In fact, if any
torp*-do.-s have been used in the present
war. the fact has not been ascertained.
Certainly no damage has b* n done.
So far the demonstration has been of tke
superior value of the swiftest projected
cruisers The iKHtleships are too slow, be
cause of their great weijjht; the torpedo
boats are too vulnerable. Being without
Armor in "tder to obtain the highest pos
sible speed, they eannot stand a well
directed fire, even from small iwoderu
jruns.
Brigadier Bill says it makes him tired
to see so many young men wanting com
missions in the .u-my when “they should
be proud to enlist as privates.” How now,
has- his excellency given up all hope of
military fame for himself?
A Pathetic Incident.
That is a pathetic story which comes
from the Ladrones ae illustrating the
plight of the Spanish governor general of
the Ladrone Islands. He rowed out in a
gig in full uniform to the United States
steamer Charleston and apologized for not
returning what he supposed was a salute
to the Spanish flag. He explained that he
was out of powder. The governor general
•was taken on board and as gently as pos
sible the situation was explained to him:
rhe people of ike United States and the
kingdom of Spain were at war and the
governor general was a prisoner. His ex
cellency had not heard of the war, knew
nothing of events for the past ninety days;
■wondered why his mail had been delayed
for three months, and gracefully accepted
the situation. ~
It is not the province of brave men and I
victorious to withhold the tribute of de- ’
served praise for the magnificent bravery
of a conquered fop. Therefore our victo- !
rioue commanders are but following the '
dictates of noble manhood in their honest
expressions of admiraition for the splendid ,
courage displayed by Admiral Cervera in
his desperate struggle off Santiago, rightly
declares the Memphis Scimetar. There is
no shame in such a defeat as the Spanish
admiral met, aliieit so crushing and over- i
whelming; but there is an added glory to
the American victory when it is apparent
that the enemy was of sueh magnificent
metal.
Mrs. Radle, a widow S 4 years old. living
in the eastern suburbs of fxirr. Mich., pur
cha.-<d a bicycle last week and it is said
that she has been making rapid progress j
in learning to ride. For years she walked •
to North floor to attend church services. *
but on account of her declining strength *
«be has now adopted the wheel as the
easier means to get to church. Somehow
we can’t help feeling that the above ought
to have a Mole St. Nicholas date.
There arc 2,200 daily and 15.000 weekly
papers published in the United States, and ■
twenty-three different languages, other i
than English, are represented in the news- i
paper press of this country.—Rome Tri- j
bune.
As surprising as the above figures are
they are not half so much so as the fact
that the Tribune did not add to them the
statement that Rome can boast of the best
paper in the lot.
The London Spectator gives the follow
ing opinion as to the character of our
Spanish foes: “A Spaniard is the kind of
man who always leaves his revolver un
loaded, and, discovering ;he fact, walks to
his death unarmed lest anybody should
suppose he is afraid.”
Lookout for another naval sensation
tomorrow. Sunday seems to be a favorisi?
day with our navy.
It is a cold day when the Alfonso XII.
fails to be oaptured or sunk.
We are likely to hear from Itewey again

A Narrow I‘lNenpr.
Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada
E. Hart, of Groton, S. 1). “Was taken with
a bad cold which settled on my lungs;
cough set in and finally terminated in
consumption. Four doctors gave me up,
saying I could only live a short time. I
gave myself up to my savior, determined
if I could not stay with my friends on
earth I would meet my absent ones above.
My husband was advised to get Dr. King’s
New Discovery for consumption, coughs
and colds. I gave it a trial, taking in all
eight bottles. It has cured me, and, thank
God, I am now a healthy woman.” Trial

SEIGE GUNS IN WAR.
Interesting Information About These For
midable Weapons.
Washington, July 9.—<With the arrival of
the Americans in Cuba a new factor in the
war appears—'the serge guns.
The beseiging forces are coni)x>sed of in
fcintry, cavalry, dismounted cavalry and
light artillery batteries of the, United
States army. The work of the last named
arm of the service will .be of high impor
tance.
The heavy seige guns used are of three
varieties —seven inch seige mortars, seven
inch .Beige howitzers and five inch br,*!teh
loading seige guns, mounted in their car
riages on heavy wooden platforms, behind
earthworks or emplacements. Heavy sand
bags will be used for this purpose.
The five inch seige rifle is used for
straight firing against a city's defenses
when it is desired to destroy the earth
works or masonry. The seven inch seige
howitzers and the mortars are used for
high angle firing. They will drop shells
end shrapnel! behind the intrenchments
into the midst of the enemy.
The charge of the five inch seige gun is
twelve and a half pounds of hexagonal
powder with a projectile weighing forty
five pounds (including high explosiv.es;)
for the seven inch howitzer the charge is
ten pounds of hexagonal powder ejecting a
missile of 105 pounds weight, and for the
seven inch broach loading mortars five and
u half pounds of powder is used to throw a
125 pound shrapnel shell.
These gun may be fired about one round
a minute, and their power of destruction
is almost inconceivable. From tests made
by army officers it has been proved that a
shrapnel shell, fired from a five inch gun
will burst with terrific force Into about 300
fragments. A seven inch shrapnel shell |
will distribute 700 bullets and fragments
over ti distance of 300 yards long and half
♦is broad. These seige guns are, for trans
portation, attached each to a limber and
hauled by horses or mules, ten to a gun.
From three to five mile is the most effec
tive range of the five inch rifle. The mor
tars and howitzers may be fired at an
angle of forty-five degrees, or even more,
and can be used close to the objective or
at. a considrable distance.
